Add a context menu to create a file list

[vsub]

How about adding a context menu that when right clicked on drive\folder,it will create a file list with everything inside that drive\folder and display it?

This is mainly useful for:
1.Not indexed folders
2.Non NTFS partitions
3.CD\DVD\USB drive.

I'm doing this right now by using AutoHotkey script and editing the registry but it would be nice if everything have this feature...that's how I'm searching for files in my flash drive or in my dvd disks.

I've added to my things to do list: add a folder context menu item to create a file list.

To create a folder context menu item now via the registry:

• Open the Registry Editor from Start -> Run -> Regedit.
• Create the following key:

  Code: Select all

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\Shell\Create Everything file list

• Create the following key:

  Code: Select all

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\Shell\Create Everything file list\command

• Set the (default) value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\Shell\Create Everything file list\command to:

  Code: Select all

  "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -create-filelist "%1\Everything file list.efu" "%1"

• Where C:\Program Files\Everything is the location of Everything.exe.

When clicking on this context menu item, the file list "Everything file list.efu" is created in the selected folder.

Yes,that's almost the same thing I do but in my case,after the list is created,everything open the file list.
Is this currently possible...with the example above,the list is created but not opened

A batch file will work...

Create the following batch file C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything-create-filelist.bat

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -create-filelist %1"\Everything file list.efu" %1
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" %1"\Everything file list.efu"

• Set the (default) value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\Shell\Create Everything file list\command to:

  Code: Select all

  "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything-create-filelist.bat" "%1"

Well that's almost the same as using my autohotkey script...the only difference is that I won't see the cmd window when I use the script
